Hey Woody. Thanks for the tip! Theirs are beefy but, alas, weld-on tabs only.

Thanks for the scoop. Rugged Ridge. Not seeing it on their website. I've seen a photo of theirs before, but the welds are absolutely impossible to see with whatever that coating is, and their prices on other things make me wonder. Anyone have experience with theirs? Any other companies out...

These things go by a bunch of names, and I'm finding almost zero online. Here's a photo of a discontinued item; this is the kind of BOLT-ON thing I'm looking for, but high-quality all around, welds included. I'm aware of the Trail Tailor version, but would prefer the bolts to be farther apart...

Anyone here done this? Any issues? Thanks!

Just came across this; there are a number of articles on the topic, and it's not just a few hypersenstive folks. Uniforms made by Lands' End. The old, hassle-free uniforms were wool. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/apr/03/delta-flight-attendants-uniforms-rash-claims...

Yeah I pick up some good-condition used W&G when it comes along, an occasional NWT item. So far as I know, all of those old REAL outfitters got bought up and turned into mall junk or closed down. W&G, A&F, Banana Republic, Land's End, Eddie Bauer. There's Filson, but it seems a lot of the good...

At the moment I'm most concerned with the weather in the Southwest, so cotton or cotton over light merino. Would be interesting to really look in detail into what these guys used when the going got cold though. You've given me some good search terms there! :)

Buy once, cry once.

Same here on Darn Tough!

I like the feel of it, I even like the sound of it. It won't melt into my skin if things get toasty, and it won't leach toxins through my skin. :)

If only all these legendary explorers who summited Everest, made it to the south pole, crossed deserts and oceans before synthetics existed, had known that... ;) Cotton, wool, down and leather worked for them...

Hmm, never thought of that, will check them out...

Anyone know of any durable/hard-wearing cotton outerwear brands? People were getting out there before synthetics. Any of the old labels--or new--still making the good stuff? Thanks for any help!

Yes. REDARC is providing custom diagrams for underhood and house wiring of major components, and I know where I want things to be--but these are subject to change on experienced installer's advice. Rig will run gear from REDARC, Baja Designs, Odyssey, DC Power, Goose Gear, James Baroud and...

Looking for a professional installer for work on a project truck for publication and ongoing features and SM reach of several million. Could be well-established or (more likely) up-and-coming and looking to make a splash. Vehicle in southern California but willing to travel if need be. (Everyone...

Take a look at ViAir's new VMS line.

No problems yet--items arrived and now sitting in the garage waiting on me to address some roof rust and a leak by the windshield. :) Just wondering about mating everything up with the K9. Speaking of which, if you have ANY plans to put ANYthing else on the roof, ever--you might want to consider...

Just checking back on this thread; lot of good suggestions. Ultimately I wend with Nicks Handmade Boots 8" Overlander model, after sending them some pictures of my socked feet in a Brannock device. (It's REALLY hard to find those with all the parts still there; forget shoe stores, try REI.)...

That's to say the latter doesn't make it entirely worthless...

James Baroud RTT & Awning with Eezi-Awn K9 Rack? Anyone running this combo? Tent needs to mount above the slats because of shell mounting position, and to (hopefully) provide clearance for awning brackets. Apparently, L-shaped awning mount brackets need to point DOWN instead of up for clearance...
